Location: Tiaza's Purr, somewhere in the Kessel Sector

Smuggler Outfit
Fortuna Lecit

If there was one thing that Sorr emphasized to the crew is that they don't have to be tied down to the Tiaza's Purr and can leave anytime. The crew can always return through by activating a friend or foe signal on their Holoprojector. Sorr created the signal from an old Galactic Alliance battlenet and integrated to M.O.M. From there, M.O.M can pinpoint the signal and Sorr can pick the crew member up. While Sorr wanted to maintain a sense of freedom for his crew, it also created a sense of loneliness. Most of the crew are gone leaving Sorr at the mini bar staring at the small glass of Nova Blaster in front of him. According to Brinna Dara , this Brandy was the favorite drink of Smugglers. Sorr could see his reflection simmering against the blue tinted beverage. His tongue began to water, it was tempting to drink the alcohol but the problem was..... Sorr never drank before.

"Oh man....." Sorr said leaning towards the Nova Blaster. He wondered if he was going to get drunk the moment, he drinks the beverage. It was definitely unlikely, but Sorr's fear outweighed everything right now.

Saya wiped her brow of sweat, only worsening her physical appearance with a broad stroke of black grease across her forehead. She glowered down at the faulty combustion manifold with a hand on her cocked hip. It was days like this where she really wished she had an astromech to help with repairs. But then again, nothing ever beat a personal touch when it came to one's ride. Well, when that personal touch actually worked and didn't leave Saya stranded on a humid jungle planet with no air conditioning.

Seriously, it was hot...

The Zeltron lifted the bottom of her tank top and wiped her whole face. It was time to throw in the towel and call for some help. Dad was...wherever his search for whatever had taken him next, and while Saya was certain her father would show up in the blink of an eye...she wasn't sure she was ready to see him and remember how she hardly recognized him anymore.

No, it was time to call on the one person Saya always hoped she would never have to in this situation. Climbing back aboard her broken down ship, Saya rummaged about the cabin until she found the tracker. With a slight sigh, she flicked it on, and watched as the red light began to pulse. "I'm so gonna lose my job after this..." Saya lamented. Who wanted a mechanic who couldn't even fix her own ship?

As the Tiaza's Purr continued to drift through space, it picked up an S.O.S signal. An alarm softly beeped throughout prompting Sorr to quickly swallow his drink his throat burning as if he swallowed a nest full of Wasps. Stumbling from his chair, Sorr ran towards the cockpit seeing a green dot on the radar of the control panel.

"A ship calling for help," Sorr muttered. He wondered if it was a trap, Spacers in Outer Rim would often use SOS signals to set up ambushes to unsuspecting space farers. However, Spacers are often sloppy, often using the same frequency and relying on the naivete of their victims. This SOS signal was updated so it passed the sniff test but Sorr wanted to make sure.

"This is Captain Sorr of the Tiaza's Purr," Sorr attempted to establish a connection to the ship. He didn't see it, but the ship was in his vicinity. "I've received your signal for help and I'm on my way. To whom am I speaking to?"

Saya tapped her foot impatiently while she waited for Sorr to pick up the distress beacon. It was sweltering inside the Dawn with out its environment regulator. The humidity certainly didn't help. But there was nothing else to do except wait. "C'mon Sorr," the Zeltron complained to herself, until finally, the captain of the Purr picked up.

"Hey boss!" Saya said with all the extra eagerness that definitely indicated there was something wrong. "So uh, yeah, I'm in a bit of a pinch right now..." she began to explain. "My ship gave out on me. I was pushing her a little too hard re-entering atmo, the thrusters started to seize, and then one thing lead to another and the combustion manifold went out, and uh," Saya let out a nervous chuckle, "well, you know how finicky those things can be." They weren't. "So uh, yeah...would you mind bringing me one? There should be one on the Purr already." 'Please don't fire me.' "I'll owe you big for this!"

It was good to hear Saya Taiyou-Fyre voice again. Travelling around the Galaxy doing solo smuggling was pretty boring. What's the point of being a Captain if you don't have a crew to travel with? "It sounds like a faulty Hyperdrive!" Sorr said over the comms. "It'll need to be replaced but I can supply it with enough power that can last you until the next jump!"

Saya also needed another Combustion Manifold, Sorr only had one in reserve considering that the Purr's Combustion Manifold was finicky as well. Meh, his friend was more important right now. Sorr can just get another one later. "Grabbing a Hyperdrive charger, and the manifold Sorr then docked the Tiaza's Purr against Saya's ship before entering.

"Hey Saya!" Sorr said stepping inside of her ship. I got-"

The young man paused dropping the items his body feeling loppy and..... blissful. A wide smile formed on his face as he began stumbling around the ship like a drunk who had one too many drink. "I feeeeellllllll ALIVE!" Sorr shouted inhaling the steam which permeated by the pheromones that Saya emitted.

Saya couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as she hung up the holocall. With Sorr on his way, she'd be able to get off this blasted planet finally. And she still had her job! Things couldn't have gone better.

By the time the Purr had landed, Saya had perspired another metric ton of sweat, and while she would've killed for another change of clothes, she wasn't exactly eager to have to do all that laundry later. But thankfully, with a boost from Sorr and the Purr, her environmental controls would be active again, and it'd not longer be a problem.

"Hey boss," Saya greeted Sorr as he boarded her ship, carrying the miscellaneous parts she'd requested. He'd been midway through greeting her though when he stopped mid-sentence, and let all the parts he'd been carrying clatter to the ground. Saya quirked a brow at him. Was everything alright with him? "I feeeeellllllll ALIVE!" Oh...something was seriously wrong.

"You all good there, boss?" Saya asked, taking a step closer with a concerned look on her face.
